This is very cool:
I have previously posted about using Raster Design for Tracing Contours to Create Revit Topography.

You can download for offline viewing using something like rtmpdump or Coojah / Blader. I used rtmpdump with rtmpdumphelper.
EDIT try using rtmpdump version 2.5, with the rtmpsrv method
So close! 🙂

Of the items currently revealed, these are the BIG ones (in my opinion):
- Parameter Variance for Groups (oh yeah!)
- Dockable Window Framework
- Non-Rectangular Crop Regions
- Displaced Views
- Enhanced Schedules
- Vault Integration
From Daniel Gijsbers blog:
“if you try to open a revit workshared file (central file) with LT it right away makes a copy of the file with LT added to it’s name.
But what is even more surprising it leaves the central file intact. With that I mean I saved the central file in Revit LT and next I open the same file in it’s bigger brother. Big Revit says right away: Would you like to create a new local? In other words, you are trying to open a central file. Revit LT doesn’t throw away the worksets!
When you have opened the file take a look at the worksharing display
Revit LT has created it’s own workset… called Revit LT user”

Sometimes you will have some junk imported DWG definitions residing in your project. These may be present due to the long history of the project, perhaps using Transfer Project Standards – View Templates, or just poor RVT model management.
How can you get rid of them?
There are various paid tools that will let you do it, but if you already have access to the Whitefeet Tools, you can use them to easily delete any import definitions (they don’t have to be DWGs) that you no longer want in the model.
Here’s how to do it:
- Install the WhiteFeet Tools, if you haven’t already.
- Open Revit
- Go to Add-Ins, Utility Tools (the W logo) and click on Management Tools
- Click on Manage Attachment Links
- Select the definition you want to remove. Make sure to select a line with the Type ‘definition’. (See image below).
- OK and close out of the dialogs
- Once back in Revit, use the Manage – Select by ID tool and press Ctrl+V. This will paste the element ID for that import definition. The Properties Palette will show the proper import name, but everything will be grayed out.
- Press the Delete key on your keyboard
- Done!
Now, when you go to your VG – Imported Categories list, that particular Import will no longer be present.
Congratulations, your model just got cleaner!
Nice tip + addin coming from Trevor Taylor via Jeremy Tammik – it shows how to rename Interior Elevation views by the Room that they reside in.

Here is a complete sample project including a test model in case you’d like to check it out yourself.
Many thanks to Trevor for this useful tool, his research, implementation, and generous sharing.
